Even the publicly acknowledged start of Micro Transactions "Horse Armour" was couched in decent medium sized DLC and The Shivering Isles

What do you mean by couched in this context?

I don't think the horse armor was part of a bigger dlc.

Oblivion had a LOT of post release paid content, most of which was decent value per $ spent, including a full on expansion. So while horse armour was a warning sign for things to come, Oblivion ALSO showcased the good side of paid post release content

That makes sense, thank you for explaining.

Now they just re-release the game over and over again and we buy that!
